After a period of absence, THE RESISTANCE has returned to the Sleuth boards with a healthy Yeti-flavoured taste.

For those unfamiliar, The Resistance is a social game of limited information. Players are split into two teams, one team being true members of the resistance, and the other being spies who have infiltrated the group. Over a course of five missions, resistance members aim to have three missions succeed, whereas spies aim to sabotage three of them. The only way for players to communicate with each other will be through this thread.

I'll post a detailed set of rules once the sign up process is over, but to give you an idea of how the game goes the first The Resistance thread on the Sleuth boards is here: http://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/post.spy?id=34582&first_record=302111

We'll need five to ten players in order to start the game. I'd like to keep this game flowing, so before putting your name down please make sure that to the best of your knowledge you'll be able to log in at least once a day for the next two weeks. You will not receive financial payment for playing THE RESISTANCE.

Sign up today!

Mission 4 Result:

Drusilla "The Bite" Spike was having a bite to eat at The Restaurant, coincidentally where she was holed up. Turtledove walked up and joined the table. Detecting a hint of surprise in her face that he'd managed to get the drop on her, he said, "After all my time spent chasing villains I've become rather used to your ways. Did you really think you were only in danger when you slept?"

Lou Hoyle pulled a bag over her head, and Devi took a mighty swing with the butt of one of her pistols, knocking Drusilla out. Interrogating her later they managed to get her to give them a little more information on the location of the UVE Villainic:

"I don't know exactly where it is, but I do know that it is NORTH OF SOUTH AFRICA"

NORTH OF SOUTH AFRICA and WEST OF MOSCOW. Things were really starting to come together..

??? SUCCESS
??? SUCCESS
??? SUCCESS

The mission has been a success!

Resistance: 2
Spies: 2

Mission Five:

The Resistance travelled to Delhi for their final make or break case. The spies in their number had managed to trip them up two times already, and if they managed to trip them up again it would all be over. On the other hand, if they managed to solve this case successfully there were good chances they could finally make a move on the UVE Villainic itself.

Jezebel "Diamondback" Jaeger was somewhere in Delhi, and one way or another everything depended upon her.

Sal Iva, please put together a team of four players for this mission. Your special power is somewhat useless at this stage, however:

KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU: The player who receives this can use it to find out what another player has picked as their action (success or sabotage) during an upcoming mission that they are on. This info will come as a PM from me.

Devi was busy in her apartment. She knew that Yeti was the one to announce everyone else that the mission had been a success. Devi, of course, already knew this first hand.

She was quickly grabbing clothes left and right, preparing to pack for yet another trip. This time around, she made sure to add some sturdy shoes, her raincoat and an umbrella.

Whether she was going to be on the mission or not, she was going to be there for the questioning. Lou had been more than efficient this time around, but she was sure she'd be able to get villains singing their crimes without using so much force.

Great job in New York everyone, TD and Devi you were fantastic. It took a little persuasion (let’s just say that The Bite isn’t an appropriate moniker for her anymore) but Drusilla finally told us that the last Villain we are after is Jezebel "Diamondback" Jaeger, so get packed, we are traveling to Delhi, (and if memory serves it will be mostly hot and wet) for the showdown, and its winner take all. And Ladies and Gents it’s going to be a very tough one.

We have to pick the exact team with no spies and it’s a team of four members. Based upon past missions success and voting events here is the way I see things so far: If any spy were on the last mission they had NO reason not to sabotage and win the game so,
Résistance Members: Devi, TD and Hoyle.
Soheir is probably Résistance (Based upon voting, votes NO on missions she's not a part of, only probably because of failed mission).
That means that Mac and Sal are our spies (from my perspective they have played the spy part as I would have, the less you say the less information the enemy has to work with and if you don’t say anything, you can’t accidentally leak any information.)
Scenario 1: Sal gets to pick the four and then we vote.
We can’t vote to approve any team with Mac or Sal on it, so if the proposed team isn’t Devi, TD and Hoyle and Soheir we have to vote NO.
Sal’s team gets voted down, then it’s Mac’s turn to pick a team. Repeat the scenario for Mac’s team.
Then Soheir gets to propose the team and it should get approved and if I’ve correctly deduced the identities of the spies the mission is voted a success, and the Résistance wins.
Given our current rate of voting we should be finished by this weekend

Scenario 2: TD still has the STRONG LEADER: This power allows the player to usurp leadership from whoever currently holds it. Order of play will then flow from the usurper. It can not be used once a mission has already been approved, and it does not allow the usurper to distribute any powers the original leader may have had. This power can be held until needed.
He can use it and propose the team, hopefully it’s along the lines as scenario 1, the team is approved and a success, the Résistance wins, but we will have saved an extra four days of team approval voting.

Scenario 3: The Spies concede and the Résistance wins.

Scenario 4: I’ve not rightly identified the spies and the spies win.

If I’ve missed anything please let me kno

I think that better much sums it up correctly. I figure the best way to go about it is to use my power card now. Soheir, Devi and Hoyle do you agree?

TD, so you're canceling Sal's mission and making it yours, right? You're proposing a team of myself, Soheir, H and yourself? Am I getting this right?

(sorry, work was a pain today - extra tired)
